    No, there won't be any live broadcast of Macworld for "regular people" to watch. The only live broadcast is to BBC Studios for European media, and that studio is extremely secure so most likely no one's going to be able to hack it to show it to the public.

    Too bad really, I'm sure a lot of people would love a live stream. The next best thing is to read Engadget and several other websites that will be updating their blogs/posts as the keynote is continuing.

    I'd love a live stream.

    I guess I'll have to settle for Youtube. :(

    Yeah, usually around late afternoon/evening, and the stream is pretty bad because everyone's watching it. I always intend to not read about what was announced and watch the keynote first, but I never end up doing so because I just can't wait :p.

    I usually go to macrumors for the blog and engadget for the pictures. Later on at night, I watch the video stream.

    Unfortunately for me, every year I'm at school when Macworld happens. So when I get back, I either isolate myself from the internet for half a day and wait for the stream, or I end up reading all about it on MacRumors :p.

    Both Engadget and TUAW are having trouble keeping up with traffic it seems. Macrumors looks like the best bet.
